Wall Art for the Home

Expand your decorating options to fill empty walls with something other than a picture or painting. Wall art creates strong focal points and dynamic textures, unifying disparate room colors into a cohesive whole. Pieces with straight, clean lines and symmetrical designs work best in homes with modern and minimalist styles. Consider metallic wall art to contrast wood decor and soft fabrics. Wood art offers fresh, organic shapes with eye-catching lines. Choose that material to accentuate rustic living rooms or to bring an outdoor element into an urban-chic space. Wall mirrors reflect existing light and create the illusion of a bigger room. Tealights, votives or electric candles in wall holders provide warm ambiance and are useful in places with limited surface area. For backyard and patio spaces, look for items that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
